RAGHUNATH LAXMAN MAKADWADA Appellant
V/S
STATE OF MAHARASHTRA Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Special leave granted.

(2.) The Bombay High Court has done it again. A Division Bench of the Bombay High Court consisting of Desai and Kotwal, JJ. has once again dismissed in limine a Criminal Appeal against a conviction for murder and sentence of imprisonment for life with a single word order:

(3.) More than any other authority in the land, we expect the High Court to regard the pronouncements of this Court with respect and to abide by them. We have said enough to reiterate what we have always said before and we sincerely hope that it won't be necessary for us to say so again.
